Instructor will demonstrate the ability to record a narrated Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation using Camtasia Studio 7 PowerPoint Add-in by 1) setting up and testing a microphone to record audio 2) recording a narrated PowerPoint presentation reading a sample printed script aloud into a microphone 3) saving a recorded PowerPoint presentation to a video file format ready for online delivery.
Lesson Rationale
Using Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 PowerPoint presentations is a ubiquitous method for delivering instructional materials to Kent State University undergraduate and graduate students taking online courses. Instructors currently utilizing this method of delivery for instructional materials have recognized a need to enhance their PowerPoint presentations with narrated audio to provide online students with a more meaningful learning experience. Some instructors have chosen to use Camtasia Studio 7 with PowerPoint Add-in, a university recommended and supported technology, to create narrated PowerPoint presentations for online delivery of course materials. Current instructional materials for how to create a narrated PowerPoint presentation using Camtasia Studio 7 lack specific step by step instructions detailing the entire process, including how to set up and test a microphone to record audio and how to save a narrated PowerPoint 2007 PowerPoint presentation to a video file format ready for online delivery. As a result of this instructional unit, an instructor will be able to use Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 and Camtasia Studio 7 PowerPoint Add-in to 1) set up and test a microphone to record audio 2) record a narrated PowerPoint presentation reading a sample printed script aloud into a microphone and 3) save a recorded PowerPoint presentation to a video file format ready for online delivery.
Instructional Strategy
The instructional strategy for this unit is individual self-directed direct instruction. Instructors will be provided with the necessary equipment and materials (personal computer booted into Microsoft Windows XP operating system with Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, Camtasia Studio 7, and Camtasia Studio 7 PowerPoint Add-in installed, computer mouse, computer keyboard, USB microphone, sample PowerPoint file, sample printed script and instructional handout) to complete the instructional unit on their own without assistance of an instructor or additional materials not provided in the instruction. During the course of instruction, instructors will use supplied sample materials to create an authentic product, narrated PowerPoint presentation, learning and practicing the procedural knowledge and skills in the sequence needed to create real work products in the work setting.
The rationale for the instructional strategy of this instructional unit, as identified in the Needs Analysis, is the following 1) the need for individualized self-instructional materials that can be accessed by instructions during times when other resources, such as individual personal instruction, is not available 2) detailed step by step procedural instruction for the entire process of creating a narrated PowerPoint presentations giving instructors the ability to create a narrated PowerPoint presentation at a time and place of their choosing as fits their personal work schedule. Individual self-directed direct instruction addresses both needs. Practice creating an authentic product using the same sequence of procedures, knowledge and skills as will be required in the work place to create narrated PowerPoint presentations for online delivery greatly increases the probability of transfer to occur from the learning setting to the work setting.
Media Selection
The media chosen for this instructional unit will include:
Printed instructional handout
Sample PowerPoint presentation file
Printed sample script for narration
Media Rationale
Rationale for choosing the media:
Print based instructional materials to learn computer application procedures, including sample practice files, is a familiar delivery system for individual self-directed learning. Presenting instructors with a familiar context for learning eliminates the need to teach them how to interact with the instructional materials.
Print based materials are required in order to present instruction for all steps in the performance objectives. Camtasia Studio 7 is a screencapture application, as such the process requires playing the PowerPoint presentation as audio is recorded over the presentation. Playing the presentation requires the PowerPoint application to enter full screen mode, thereby eliminating the possibility of sharing the desktop with other open applications. This eliminates the effective use of video instruction or using digital text materials such as a .pdf file to complete the instructional steps during the course of the instruction.
Print based materials allow instructors to work at their own pace and and easily annotate instructional materials for future reference.
Print based materials present dual mode of processing information, both verbal (text elaborating the process) and visual (screenshots modeling how the process looks at each step when done correctly) facilitating storage of new information and resulting in higher probability of recall and transferring new knowledge and skills to real work setting.
Sample PowerPoint presentation and sample printed narrative script provide instructors with materials for use in "hands-on" practice creating an authentic product during resulting in increased likelihood of transferring knowledge and skills to real work setting.
Providing pre-made sample PowerPoint presentation and sample printed narrative script allow instructors to focus on content of the instruction and not the creation of materials for use during the course of instruction. Providing pre-made materials reduces the time for the instructional unit.
Clusters of Objectives
Each of the main cluster objectives numbers, and their subordinate sub-objectives numbers, correspond to the numbered performance objectives in the Performance Objectives Analysis. The clusters are organized using the procedural elaboration method for sequencing content. In order to achieve the stated instructional goal, it is most logical to present the steps of the procedure in the learning setting in the order in which the actual procedure occurs in a real work setting. Before a narrated PowerPoint presentation file can be saved to a video file format a narrated PowerPoint file must first be recorded, and before a narrated PowerPoint presentation can be recorded a microphone must be correctly set-up and tested to receive audio input. The sequential order of the main objectives and subordinate sub-objectives, as listed in Clusters of Objectives table below, will guide instructors through the same sequence of steps an expert would use to 1) set up and test a microphone to record audio 2) record a narrated PowerPoint presentation reading a sample printed script aloud into a microphone 3) save a recorded PowerPoint presentation to a video file format ready for online delivery.
